HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
Two Wen shoot Each other on
Moving Train and Fall Off.

MOUNT VERNON, KY, December
25.-Bob Chunley, yesterday in
Laurel County arrested Hugh Nc
Porgue who was charged with the
seduction of a young girl.
He started on the train with him for
this place to-day. When he arrived
at Livingston, Walter Mullins, one of
McPorgue's friends boarded the train.
The train had not run more than two
miles. when nearing the tunnel which
opened out on the bridge over Round
stone Creek, Mullins entered the car
and slapping Chunley on the shoulder,
told him he wanted to see
him on the platform quick
Chunley went out carrying
his Winchester with him. After
reaching the platform, witnesses say
that discussion ensued and o report
Of firearms aroused Ell! the passengers.
Mullins was shot through his hand
and Chunley through his foot. Both
fell from the moving train off the
bridge, q distance of about thirty feet.
The train was at once stopped and
backed up to the scene. Both men
were found dead, Mullins with his
neck broken and Churley with his
head all torn to pieces, making it diff
fieult to tell whether he44wGs shot in
the head or not, but it is supposed he
was, as his brains were found upon the
car steps. In the confusion McPorgue

The Coal Trade Crippled by the
Labor Troubles.

READING, Pa, December 25.--On
last Sunday ever 500 loaded coal ears
passed through Reading from the
Schuylkill coal regions bound for Port
Richmond and other points south.
To-day not II single car was moved
out. and the coal trade is practically
dead. During the forenoon over one
hundred railroaders, hose trains were
run on sidings north and south of this
city passed through Reading, bound
for their homes, which are mostly in
the coal regions. Orders to strike We're
received this morning, and as far as
the railroad crews were concerned, they
were promptly obeyed. Immediately
thereafter General Manager Mcleod
telegraplled orders that every engine
attached to the trains lying on the
sidings should be housed and guarded
The company employs at its shops in
this city about two thousand men, but
they. will not go out, as they claim
that they are not included in the or
der of the Knights to strike, but the
leaders in this city expect such an or
der very soon, so as to more efectu-
ally cripple the company. \ meeting
of the Railroaders' Assem- bly, was held
to-day and the prevailing sentiment
was in favor OF standing by the strik-
eis. Agents OF the Reading Company
to-day actively canvassed this section
for men to fill the places of the strlk-
ers and enable them to resume the
movement Of trains on Tuesday morn
ing. Master Workman Herman OF
this city to-day sent out kilograms
notifying all of the assemblies OF the
decision to strike.
PHILADELPHIA, December 24.-The
following notice was issued last night
and signed by General Mcleod, OF the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad :
"Work will be resumed on Tuesday
morning, December 9th, at the Port
Richmond yard, Employees will report
for duty at that time. The places OF
such as do not report will be filled by
other men. The men discharged for
disobedience OF orders in refusing to
move trains to the place OF their des-
tination, will not he permitted again
to enter the service OF the company III

Leading strikers say that the men
are willing to arbitrate their differences
with the company, and will return te
work at any time. An officer OF the
Reading Co. said that the claim that
$4,000 men would quit the company S
employ was pure 1alsehood.

merchandise which were loaded yes
terday from the Queen of the Pacific,
besides grain, beans and other pro-
duce were DESTROYED. The fire started
in the roof of the warehouse. Inc
telegraph operator, Berkeley Hayes
narrowly escaped by jumping from
the balcony of the second story, where
he slept, and spraining his leg in the
fall. w. Silva, a dock hand, was
found in bed in the warehouse In an
unconscious condition, and the men
were compelled to drag him away to
save his life.
Telegraphic communication was
broken last night, and the news
reached this city by messenger this
morning. A special train containing
railway officials went down immedi-
atcly with a line repairer and party
of workmen. The damage is fully
$50 900. Sixty cars OF freight on the
wharf we're saved with part of the
grain ready for shipment. The
steamer Santa Cruz had left the port
only short time before the fire.
Smaller ships can still land easily, as
the wharf was 1000 feet long, but
larger vessels may experience some
difficulty.
Manager j. NJ. Fillmore OF the Pa
cilic Coast Railway and Steamship
Company, states this evening, as to
the origin OF the fire, that it probably
caught from the steamer Santa Cruz
at nine o. clock last night and smould-
cred until four this morning, when
the flames were discovered; other
wise it must have been incendiary.
The losses of freight left by the
Queen of the Pacific will be mostly
shared by the merchants OF this city.
The telegraph lines are working again,
and a temporary office has been estab-
lished at the Hotel Marie. Work OF
reconstruction will be Immediately
begun. Immense crowds have visited
Port Hartford to-day. A part of the
freight, amounting to sixty carloads,
besides several thousand sacks OF
grain, lie on the wharf just beyond
the burnt section.

WAsuINGroN, December 25.-The
United States Geological Survey, OF
which Major J. w. Powell is the Di-
rector, has issued the statistics
of the production of minerals
during 1886. The report gives
primarily the production and value OF
every prominent mineral substance
mined in the United States, with
compact statement of the prices,
sources of supply and the technical
matters which proved important dur
ing the year. The total value of the
mineral products, taken rs nearly as
possible at the points OF production,
was more than $465, 100000, the
largest mineral production yet recorded
in any country. In 1885 the value was
about 1929 900 900. Many substances
shared in this increase, but particu-
larly iron and steel, which minerals
showed an increase OF $50, 900, 900.
In 1885 bituminous coal was the most
valuable mineral product, but in 1856
it was surpassed by pig iron which
had higher total value than silver
and gold combined. Wonderful
progress is shown in the use OF natu-
raj gas, the consumption being more
than double that of 1885, and twenty
times that OF 1883. 1t is estimated
that the value of coal displaced by
natural gas in 1856 was more than
$780, 900. This is slightly less than
half the value of petroleum.

San FRANcIsCo, December 25.-
Yesterday Colin Campbell and
Charles N. Fox, attorneys for the de-
Tense of DR.. Bowers, convicted on Il
charge of numbering his wife by
poisoning her with phosphorus, filed
their concluding briefs in the SUI
prone Court. Each brief fills a
fair-sized pamphlet and both review
the testimony in favor OF DIR. Bowers.
Upon the latter stands u new bearing
thrust upon the case by the unex-
planned death and alleged confession
OF Henry Benhayon. Mr.. Campbell's
brief does not touch upon these latter
circumstances, but is devoted to a very
exhaustive consideration of the testi-
mony, In the first place it discus
all the medical and clerical evil
dene representing that there. was
a total absence in the autopsy held
upon the body of Mrs. Bowers OF the
chemical symptoms and the patho-
logical conditions that usually accom-
pany phosphorus poisoning. A new
point in this connection is made in
the statement that two chemists state
that they obtained from the hypo-phos-
phites contained in Il compound syrup
OF hypo-phosphites similar results to
those noticed by DIR. Johnston in his
autopsy, and that such syrup was adj
ministered to the decea, ed prior to
her death. 1t also considers six points
of law, which may be briefly men
toned as follows;
First-That the Court should have
rejected all the chemical evidence
offered at the trial, because DR.. john
ston, who made the chemical analysis
of the stomach, failed to use proper
care to prevent its being tempered
with.
Second-That the Judge did not act
impartially in his method of examin-
ing the witnesses for the prosecution.
Third--That Prosecuting Attorney
Southland was guilty OF misconduct
while making his closing argument in
the case to the jury.
Fourth-That the Court erred in
allowing the expert witnesses. for the
prosecution, to answer the hypothet1-
cal questions propounded by the coun-
sci for the prosecution.
Fifth-That the Court erred in
allowing the witness. DR.. Johnston, to
answer certain questions, and
Sixth-That the Court, in sustain
ing the objection Of the presentation
to the several questions propounded

to the witness Mrs. Sarah Benhayon,
the object OF which was TO show that
she was habitual gambler.
The brief concludes with an elo-
auent TRADE against the abuse OF
newspaper criticism. Mr.. Campbell
is also filing supplementary written
brief containing q review OF the testi-
mony, and presenting great many
alleged errors Of law that occurred at
the trial.

Caught Red.IIanaed.

TACOMA, w. T., December 24,--Par-
ties have been searching for the muir
derer of Frederick Neitzel all day, and
this afternoon two men on the beach
were startled by seeing man rush
out from the woods, hatless, coatless,
and with 81 red shirt matted with
blood. He confessed his crime to
them. After secreting him they re-
turned to the city for the police. On
the arrival of the latter the murderer
was placed in boat and taken to the
city and delivered into the custody OF
the Sheriff. A mob had followed him
along the beach, eager to lynch the
murderer. The latter gave his name
William Martin. He is an English
man, and has been stevedore along
the coast for many years. He said
that he tried to "hold up Neitzel and
that the latter came at him, when he
shot him. He carried away a cigar
box, which he supposed to contain
coin, but found it to hold only poker
chips. Neitzel's funeral takes place

SAN Francisco, December 26.-The
Pioneers had merry Christmas with
the New York Giants at the Haight-
street grounds to-day. Ewing, the
pitcher, did not make a very good fist
of it, and the batters and the tielders
were not in any humor for work.
Even Kelly utterly abstained from the
slightest indulgence in brilliancy.
On the other hand, the Pioneers
were just in the humor for good
work. Mullen was in the box, and a
good showing he made. Carroll who is
in danger OF being overworked, did ex-
eellent work behind the bat. The
nine showed up exceptionally strong
as batters, and it was Il poor Pioneer
who could not hit the fence occasion

Dat, and when they had concluded
their half of the ninth inning they had
but s runs to their credit against l6

The recent rumor that an attempt
